Grandfathered Digital Ocean account

packetnets

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a grandfathered Digital Ocean account which was made at the start of 2013 or earlier? i'd be interested in taking over for a startup i'm working on . If you're interested please email me at [email protected] or let me know here.

Thanks in advance.

Fuck off, read the rule, dude..

Yes, I do. I don't use it, I don't like digital ocean. But no, I'm not helping you skirt rules to launch a startup - what kind of way is that to establish a company anyway? Earn your stripes...

There are no bandwidth limitations.

As our resident congratulator @angstrom would say, "no congratulations on your first post".

The best way to start a business is to risk your data. One look at how that account has changed hands and you'll be terminated for shady activity.

What bandwidth limitation was it tho? I have a 6 year old DO account and checking deployment of a new droplet has a limit same as the what the website was stating.
